Mets vs Braves Prediction
The Mets are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Braves and have won their last three visits in Atlanta.
In this Mets vs Braves Prediction, the Braves are coming as -125 home favorites. I like the Braves in a bounce back spot at home in this one with Martin Perez, who is coming off back-to-back shutouts and has been excellent at home with a 2.24 ERA. On the flip side, Nolan McLean has given up 9 runs across his last three starts and while the Mets have been hot lately, the Braves have both a better offense and a better bullpen this season, so I expect them to bounce back and win this one at home.
